Cheshire's Oulton Park is launching Easter Funday on Bank
Holiday Monday 28 March as an all-new family-friendly start to
another busy season of major events, combining high-energy racing
on the track, with a village fete atmosphere off it.

This exciting addition to the calendar will focus as much on the
off-track show as the racing, with particular highlights including
a Big Top show tent, which will host an assortment of children's
entertainers and live music. There will be a special Show Ground
area too, featuring a medieval jousting display, village games, and
plenty of other outdoor activities.

There will also be a mega Easter Egg Hunt too, so children are
advised to keep their eyes peeled around the venue at all times.
Other off-track highlights will include a funfair and vehicle
displays, including supercars and military vehicles, ensuring that
there will be plenty to enjoy for both the young and the
young-at-heart.

There will be opportunities for visitors to get behind the wheel
too, with off-road MudMaster and RallyMaster driving sessions
available on the day. MudMaster allows participants to test the
mettle of the iconic Land Rover Defender, whilst RallyMaster puts
you behind the wheel of a fully stage prepared Toyota GT86.
11-17-year-olds can try their hand at a spot of underage driving
too, with YoungDrive!, MSV's renowned MINI driving school for
teenagers.

The on-track programme will be headlined by demonstrations from
Benetton 190 and 193 Grand Prix cars, as driven in the Formula One
World Championship by Nelson Piquet and Michael Schumacher
respectively.

The race programme, organised by MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR)
will include action from the VAG Trophy, a one-make touring car
series for cars from the Volkswagen Group, the BRSCC XR Challenge
for retro Ford cars, and the eclectic Northern Saloons and Sports
Cars series. The Monoposto Championship will add single-seaters to
the programme, and all races will take place on the rarely-used
Fosters circuit to add a bit of variety for the fans.

Circuit Manager Simon Bonser said: "With our traditional Easter
British GT meeting moving later in the year, there was an
opportunity to create a brand new major event on the Bank Holiday
Monday, and I'm delighted to unveil our inaugural 'Easter Funday',
which combines motor racing with a huge number of displays and
activities on the infield of the circuit. And with lots of Easter
surprises in store, it should be a 'cracking' day out for all the
family!"

This will be the first major event of an Oulton Park season
which will include rounds of the British Touring Car Championship,
MCE British Superbike Championship, and British GT Championship -
which switches to the end of May Bank Holiday weekend. For a full
